Google has just shut down its email app Inbox, to focus on its most successful product, Gmail. And if the Inbox users are looking for an alternative, the news is that Readdle has just launched its famous email app SparkMail for Android.
Earlier the email app was only available for the Apple’s platforms, i.e. iOS and MacOS, and is among the most popular email app for iOS. The company confirmed the news yesterday on Twitter that the app will also be available for Android users. The tweet stated, “Ok I’m going say it. The plan is to release the Android version on Tuesday 8 AM EDT.”
The Spark app provides a smarter interface and faster performance. It also offers features like the Smart Inbox, customizable sidebar and gesture-based UI.
The Smart Inbox is responsible for a neater and organised email in uniformly divided bundles like Personal, Notifications, Newsletters, etc. Also, whenever the user opens the app, they see the emails categories instead of a homepage flooded with emails. All the categories include a View All button that lists down all the emails in the very category. There is also an option to turn off this feature.
The customizable sidebar lets the users pin the important emails on the top or hide the unnecessary emails. The app offers a simple yet effective design. Also with the swipe action in the app, the user can easily delete or archive the emails. It also allows users to schedule their emails for the future. Also, it has got an undo button for the sent emails, that really is a useful feature for every person dealing with emails.
The discussed features are one of the major ones, and apart from these features it also provides support for iCloud. Though Google is all set to get its hands on improving Gmail, as it has already shut down Inbox, the launch of a Spark Android app with enhanced feature may be quite challenging for Google.
Spark is free to use app and is available on Play store. But the paid version of the app is also available for $6.39 per user per month that includes even more features.
